If you have diabetes exercise is important for your heart health as well as weight loss; it will lower your high blood pressure, and, in some cases, improve blood sugar control as well as leading to an overall sense of well-being. If you are pre-diabetic or have risk factors it can even help prevent type 2 diabetes in some people.

Please remember that it’s important to have both enthusiasm and common sense when you are starting an exercise program. If you are diabetic it is important to practice these precautions in order to stay safe and ensure that your exercise program is productive.

Wear well-fitting, protective footwear. Drink plenty of liquids before, during, and after exercise to prevent dehydration, which can upset blood sugar levels.

If you use insulin you should also:

Monitor your blood sugar before, during, and after exercise to determine your body’s typical response to exercise. If you have a reading of 250 mg/dL (13.9 mmol/L) or higher you should wait until your levels are under control before you exercise. Talk with your physician about the possibility of decreasing your insulin dose by about 30 percent during exercise. Choose an insulin injection site away from exercising muscles (for example, avoid the legs if running) Keeping rapidly absorbed carbohydrates on hand (glucose tablets, hard candies, or juice). Eat a snack 15 to 30 minutes before exercise, and again every 30 minutes during exercise. Eat a source of slowly absorbed carbohydrates (dried fruit, fruit jerky, granola bars, or trail mix) immediately after exercise. This should counteract a possible post-exercise drop in your blood sugar levels.

It is important to select an exercise program that is enjoyable to you and can be done comfortably, this will make it easier to stay motivated and stick with a program over time. If you have had a sedentary lifestyle you might find it difficult to start and continue with an exercise program.

If you have diabetic eye complications (proliferative retinopathy) I recommend you avoid high-impact activities and strenuous weight-lifting, which may increase your blood pressure and cause bleeding in the eye. If you have neurologic complications (peripheral neuropathy) it is recommended that you avoid running which may lead to foot ulcers and stress fractures.

Julia Hanf author of the book How To Play The Diabetes Diet Game And Win. With this proven system you to can lower your blood sugar level and retake control of your health and your life. Through a real life crisis Julia figured out how to live diabetes free.

The best way in the beginning to control your diabetes is to change your eating habits and greatly reduce carbs form your diet. When you eat a lot of starchy carbs you have to remember that they only turn into sugar and this can cause you to have a hard problem controlling your diabetes blood sugar level. Try by eating a larger portion of fresh vegetable and lean meats because these will not affect your sugar level as much. It is also important when you are trying a new diet that you check your levels to make sure they do not get too low. Also getting plenty of exercise is also another great way to keep your healthy and in control.

Remember that even though you may have diabetes it is controllable if you make some changes in your life. Eating a diet that is low in carbs and high in fiber and lean meats is a great start. You also want to make sure you find an exercise that you can do each day such as walking because this will help you to control your diabetes and have a long life.

You know that there can be many complications when it come to have a disease like diabetes so it is most important that you keep track of what you are eating and that you try to maintain a healthy weight. This will help you to keep it under control and reduce the risk that you will have any complications with your diabetes. Many people have a history of diabetes in there family and studies show that it is very likely that it can be past on from a previous generation.  If you take care of your weight and get plenty of exercise then you will be able to control your diabetes without issues.

Remember that even though you have diabetes it is manageable if you make the effort to eat the right foods and get exercise you can reduce the chance that you will have any complications at all with this disease. It is important to take charge and live the life you want to live but make sure you keep track of your eating and you will be fine.

What are commonly misconstrued, as diabetes cures are the treatments necessary to manage and control the diabetes symptoms to prevent the disease from developing further complications. In fact, diabetes is known to be a highly progressive disease, which means the patient’s condition can deteriorate or develop into something more critical.

Hence, once a person is afflicted with diabetes, he is bound to carry this disease for the rest of his life. Treatments will be focused on how to lower the level of blood sugar level to normal whether the diabetes sufferer is a type 1, type 2 or gestational diabetic.

If a patient has type 1 diabetes, his or her pancreas produces very little insulin or no insulin at all. A daily insulin injection is needed in order to control the blood sugar level to prevent the patient from weakening or worst, dying. Sad to say, but this is now quite common among children.

A type 2 diabetes occurs when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or there is resistance to insulin. This is a developing disease, which starts with oral medication and if not properly treated, will eventually require insulin injection. This often affects older and obese people due to lesser activity thereby lessening insulin sensitivity.

Gestational diabetes takes place at the later months of pregnancy and disappears upon giving birth. However, the mother is already deemed as prone to developing type 2 diabetes as she ages or on her next pregnancy.

The causes as well as the exact cures for diabetes remain to be discovered but this disease is currently treated with medicines, by exercise and through diet to avert complications. Hence, a diabetic patient in order to manage and prevent diabetic symptoms and complications from taking place, should acquire sufficient knowledge about the following:

1. The skill to check the blood sugar level at home. Checking will indicate if the medication, diet, and exercises are effective. As recommended by the American Diabetes Association, blood sugar level before a meal is from 80 to 120 mg/dl and 100 to 140 mg/dl before bedtime.

2. A dietary meal plan prepared by the dietitian in coordination with the doctor should be strictly followed. This is to make sure that the blood sugar level will not become too high or low.

3. Pay strict attention to the time and dosage of the medications prescribed by the doctor. Learn to inject insulin, if needed, and monitor the intake of oral medicines like glucose-lowering pills in a logbook. Type 2 diabetes medications include oral sulfonylureas to increase the insulin, thiazolidinediones for better cell sensitivity and acarbose and miglitol to postpone glucose absorption.

4. Along with the medications and proper diet to control diabetes, exercise is also needed in order to maintain the ideal weight and blood sugar level, as well as eliminate high blood pressure which may lead to heart attack or stroke. The exercise program should have the approval of the doctor.

5. Foot handling and hygiene becomes necessary because wounds tend to heal longer giving time for bacterial infections to set in. If left untreated, the foot might be amputated.

6. Proper coordination with the diabetes team in case an emergency is inevitable.

Diabetes is fast becoming the biggest silent killer of the world and the medical environment is scrambling for the elusive cure to fight off diabetes. Prevention is still our best armor to avoid affliction.

Let me just initiate out by saying that I am not opposed to the use of pharmaceutical products to manage diabetes. I myself am taking Metformin, also known as Glucophage, and Glipizide, also known as Glucotrol, to help control my blood glucose levels. Although I’ve stopped taking the Metformin as it gave me serious stomach cramps, gas and diarrhea.

Right now taking these medication is a must for me. If you be acquainted with me personally you would know that I’m not enthusiastic on taking medication. I am always looking for a more natural approach to treating my diabetes mellitus.

What I have been finding is that there are certain foods and supplements that will naturally decrease my blood sugar levels. By add in these foods and supplements into your already diabetes friendly diet you are upping your chances of a longer better life.

Below are foods and supplements that decreases Blood Sugar Levels

1. Cinnamon : Studies are finding that cinnamon reduces blood sugar levels naturally when taken daily. If you completely love cinnamon you can shower the recommended six grams of cinnamon on your food throughout the day to attain the desired effect. If you are not that big a fan of cinnamon there is another substitute cinnamon capsules. This gives you the suggested cinnamon dose all in one tidy capsule.

2. Chromium: To help your body’s cells counter correctly to insulin you can use Chromium. There are researches that are finding that people with diabetes have lower Chromium levels than people who do not suffer from diabetes. But here question arises that how do you add Chromium to your diet? Well it is a trace mineral so the best stake it to take a Chromium Picolinate dietary supplement.

3. Zinc: The mineral Zinc plays a enormous role in your body’s production and storage of insulin. It is now being brought to light that people with diabetes mellitus have a Zinc deficiency. You can go about raising the Zinc in your diet by either taking a supplement or by eating foods that are high in Zinc value. This would comprise of lamb, oysters, pecans, almonds (badaam), chicken and sardines.

4. Salacia oblonga: Also something attractive I read about and also heard from someone on a podcast they were taking in Sri Lanka . Salacia oblonga is an herb that’s been used for years which is native to regions of India and Sri Lanka , binds to intestinal enzymes that break down carbohydrates in the body. Ohio State University , studies saw insulin levels drop 23 % and blood sugar levels drop 29 % in patients who took a 1000 mg dose of the herb. Its really Amazing!

These are just a few of the natural foods and supplements that will decrease your blood sugar level naturally. One thing that is very significant is that you keep your health care provider up to date on any supplements that you will be using as a natural way to lower your blood sugar. They will be able to help you securely figure out what does and does not work for you.

To start off, it’s best to follow the nutrition guidelines in the Food Pyramid, with special attention to carbohydrate intake. Also, diabetics should maintain a regular meal schedule and exercise portion control.

Starches are allowed in a diabetes diet, as long as you control portions and don’t consume too much starchy food. Starches are present in bread, cereal, and starchy vegetables.

Consume five fruits and vegetables on a daily basis. This can easily be accomplished by eating a piece of fruit for a snack several times a day, or by eating vegetables with dinner. Soups, stir-fries, and chili make good hiding places for veggies if you need clever ways to add more good stuff into your meals.

You can still eat sugars and sweets (perhaps surprisingly) with type 2 diabetes, but do so in moderation, which means once or twice a week maximum. One way to eat fewer sweets without neglecting your sweet tooth is to split a dessert in half.

Especially beneficial for diabetics are soluble fibers, so you need to get as many as these into your diet as possible. Luckily, you can find soluble fibers in many foods, including fruits, vegetables, and seeds. Soluble fibers are excellent because they aid in slowing down and reducing the absorption of glucose from the intestines. Legumes (such as cooked kidney beans) have the highest amount of soluble fibers, and also keep blood sugar levels in check. Insoluble fibers, found in bran, whole grains and nuts, are also part of a healthy diet because they work like intestinal scrubbers, by cleaning out the lower gastrointestinal tract.

For many people, contacting a dietician is the best way to put together a good diabetes diet. Everyone is different, so keeping in contact with your physician and nutrition consultant will ensure your diet plan is the optimum one for you. A professional will take into account your lifestyle, medication, weight, other medical issues, and your favorite foods to come up with a plan that will keep you healthy and satisfy your cravings for particular flavors.

A Healthy Weight – and Lifestyle

If you have type 2 diabetes, it’s also very important to maintain a healthy weight ( http://www.healthline.com/adamcontent/diabetes-diet ). With type 2 diabetes, added body fat actually makes it more difficult for your body to produce and use insulin. Trimming down as little as 10 or 20 pounds has the potential to improve your blood sugar significantly.

Smokers are advised to quit as soon as possible, as smoking can aggravate diabetes and make it more difficult to cope with the disease. Because diabetics often experience circulation problems in the legs and feet, smoking is a dangerous habit to continue – it decreases blood flow even more. Smoking also increases LDL cholesterol and raises the risk of heart attack and stroke.

If you keep your blood sugar under control, moderate alcohol consumption is allowed, but avoid drinking on an empty stomach, as this can lead to low blood sugar. To learn how much alcohol you can safely include in your diet, consult your doctor.

Fat and Carbs

You can control the amount of carbs you consume by practicing carbohydrate counting. This involves keeping track of the total number of grams of carbs you need to eat at meals or snacks, depending on your medication and exercise. Usually this method involves the use of a carbohydrate counting book, which you can purchase at a supermarket or bookstore.

Those with type 2 diabetes are at a higher risk for heart problems, so most physicians make a recommendation to limit fat below 30% of your total daily caloric intake – this tends to be done by eating less fat overall and staying away from saturated fat. You should also pay attention to cholesterol levels by eating smaller amounts of meat, and sticking to lean meats, such as poultry and fish.

It will take some time to adjust to your new diabetes diet and healthy lifestyle, especially if you haven’t followed healthy living practices in the past, but the results will be worth the effort. Not only will you be able to better manage your diabetes, but you will also become a much healthier person.

Abiram Ganeshanathan, London

In this research article, I will be discussing the controversial and thought provoking topic of embryonic stem cell research. However, I will be concentrating on the ultimate concept of it providing a long term and viable option to cure Diabetes mellitus type one. A range of sources have been consulted from around the globe in order to provide an in depth and most importantly, an impartial and accurate report on this stimulating topic.

The proposal alone of using human embryonic stem cells for the purpose of medicinal research has caused intense debate among many political and religious groups. Research into this field, requires one to analyse the priorities of medical research alongside the prosperous future it could provide.

Embryonic Stem Cells

Stem cells are unlike other cells. They are unique in that they are unspecialized and thus retain the ability to develop into any of the wide spectrum of cells possible (in theory) within the human body (pluripotency). The lack of tissue specific structures enables stem cells to form specialised cells in a process known as differentiation.

Embryonic Stem cells differ from other variances of stem cells due to their capability to replicate themselves in a laboratory indefinitely. More importantly however, they can generate into any type of cell within the human body. Other types of stem cells, such as Adult stem cells, are limited to what type of cells they can form and this has resulted in their use being very limited.

Diabetes mellitus (Type 1)

Type one diabetes is an ‘auto-immune’ disease. Those who are diagnosed with d.m.t.o,*  are unfortunate in that their immune system creates antibodies that attach to the beta cells in the pancreas which destroy the cells that make insulin. In rare circumstances, it has been caused by inflammation of the pancreas but this cause has only affected a miniscule proportion of sufferers. (Kilvert, 2008) If left untreated the consequences could be fatal and potentially lead to death. There are numerous serious problems associated with diabetes if not treated ranging from Atheroma to Blindness. In the UK alone, 1 in 250 develops type one diabetes but it can increase

to 15 in 250 if a first degree relative has been diagnosed with it. (www.diabetes.co.uk, 2009) As of late 2008, it has been estimated that eighteen million people have d.m.t.o worldwide which illustrates just how vital a potential cure could be. (WHO – World Health Organisation, Nov 2008)

The complications of the treatment of d.m.t.o are caused by the necessity to ensure the correct amount of insulin is taken. Excess insulin can cause the glucose level to plummet thus causing hypoglycaemia or adversely a lack of insulin could cause the afore mentioned problems of untreated d.m.t.o.. At present, the current treatment to ensure a patient stays healthy, is for them to take insulin injections 2-4 times a day for the rest of their lives. (www.diabetes.co.uk, 2009)

Why specifically Embryonic Stem Cells?

In order to understand and analyse the results and progress of research into this field, it is imperative to understand why embryonic stem cells are being focused on a solution as opposed to other forms of stem cells.

Somatic (Adult) stem cells have been leading stem cell research in the past as it never necessarily conflicted with the majority of ethical or religious groups and their beliefs. They are rare undifferentiated cells that can be found in differentiated tissues with a capacity for self renewal in addition to differentiation, although this ability is limited. There is a tiny amount of somatic stem cells within each tissue and upon these being removed, their capacity to divide and multiply dwindles leading to difficulty in obtaining large amounts of somatic stem cells.

As research progressed however, the flaws of these stem cells were exposed. The number of cell types that they can develop into are restricted which hinders its versatility and its application to cure a variety of diseases. Somatic cells also have an increased chance of carrying mutations of the DNA compared to its human embryonic stem cell counterpart. The reason being the adult cells could have mutated over the respective person’s lifetime in a cell division process known as mitosis. Embryonic stem cells have had less exposure to this process and thus regenerate at a pace that is much greater than that of adult stem cells.

In the placement of a culture, (Growth of cells in vitro in an artificial medium for research or medical treatment (The National Institutes of Health resource for stem cell research, 2009)), embryonic stem cells are able to divide infinitely and with relative ease in comparison to somatic cells. Having said the above, adult stem cells have a superiority in that the cells are the patient’s own cells, and there is no chance of their body rejecting the cells as they are compatible. There is no need for immune suppressing drugs which would otherwise occur with embryonic stem cells making the patient vulnerable to other diseases.

The main reason for deciding on embryonic stem cell research in particular was due to the key aspect that it could differentiate and divide easier and to a greater extent making it very versatile and therefore seemingly have a higher potential to cure a disease such as d.m.t.o. The points that have been made as of yet, are to provide a basic knowledge and all will be explained further within the article alongside a more detailed analysis of the points made.

Can Embryonic Stem Cells cure diseases?

Although embryonic stem cells can be grown in culture/vitro, research is still at a very premature stage. Before even considering its potential to cure d.m.t.o, it must first be deduced if embryonic stem cells can cure diseases at all.

From an outside perspective, it would appear that the possibilities are endless, and that embryonic stem cells could well become the 21st century penicillin. However in reality, the human body is a complex being and there are an enormous number of complications to overcome e.g. the patient’s immune system rejecting the new cells and destroying them.

Regardless of the fact that research is in its premature stage, there have been encouraging reports. In the United States of America, researchers used embryonic stem cells to cure mice who were bred to suffer from a Parkinson’s-like condition. Embryonic mouse stem cells differentiated into neurons in a lab dish. They were then transplanted into a rat with Parkinson’s disease (PD), and the isolated cells formed functional connections and reduced disease symptoms. The researchers found that the grafted cells established functional connections with surrounding brain cells and began to release dopamine. The rats that received the differentiated cells showed significant improvements in symptoms during behavioural tests. Since undifferentiated embryonic stem cells sometimes multiply out of control and form tumours, the researchers measured the number of cells in the grafts at several time points after the transplants. The number of cells in the grafted areas stabilized by four weeks after the transplants, and none of the rats developed tumours. (Frazin)

Albeit, it may only be in mice but the results are very promising in particular because there were no tumours formed and with the brain cells releasing the vital catecholamine dopamine. The latter is of particular interest as if related to the context of d.m.t.o., it would be beta cells releasing the hormone insulin so there are some similarities in that the embryonic stem cells were used in order to differentiate into a cell that releases a chemical of some sort.

Humans and rats have the same basic physiology, similar organs, and similar body plans. Both control body chemistry using similar hormones, both have nervous systems that work in the same way, both react similarly to infection and injury. (How Humans Are Like Rats, 2003) This likeliness between both humans and rats increases the relevancy of the results of the experiment. Nonetheless, there is no guarantee that it will work on humans and it would be naive to believe it would be directly transferable to humans from rats without flaw.

On the other hand, there has been no embryonic stem cell research successfully tested on humans. Even the latest breakthrough by Geron Corporation, the first group to ever obtain the approval of the FDA to conduct clinical trials, has been delayed. Despite eight years of intense research, an abnormal amount of cysts caused the company to delay trials (http://singularityhub.com/2009/09/02/geron-explains-why-first-embryonic-stem-cell-clinical-trial-is-stalled/, 2009). There has not been an opportunity for anyone to safely test on humans as of yet. Until, an organisation has perfected testing on animals, it is only sensible to postpone the testing of humans, but the results are promising. With most if not all medication being first tested on animals, it shows that results from animal testing are relevant and valid to use in relation to embryonic stem cells potential human use as has been the practice for several decades now in pharmaceuticals and medicine. It would be reasonable to conclude that embryonic stem cells do in fact have the potential to cure diseases, but maybe not in the immediate future. A more thorough conclusion can only be made with some evidence of human testing but with none being conducted; only time will give a concrete conclusion but at present, the results are looking highly promising.

Evidence of embryonic stem cells to cure Diabetes mellitus type one

An important factor that must be considered in this research article is what evidence has already been conducted that would suggest it is or would be a cure to d.m.t.o..

Dr Ron McKay of the Laboratory of Molecular Biology and his colleagues described a series of experiments in which they induced mouse embryonic cells to differentiate into insulin-secreting structures that resembled pancreatic islets. Dr McKay and his colleagues began with embryonic stem cells and let them form an aggregate of cells containing all three embryonic germ layers (known as embryoid bodies). They then selected a population of cells from the embryoid bodies. Using a sophisticated five-stage culturing technique, the researchers were able to induce the cells to form islet-like clusters that resembled those found in native pancreatic islets. The cells responded to normal glucose concentrations by secreting insulin, although insulin amounts were lower than those secreted by normal islet cells. Quoted by Dr McKay “This system is unique in that the embryonic cells form a functioning pancreatic islet, complete with all the major cell types. The cells assemble into islet-like structures that contain another layer, which contains neurons and is similar to intact islets from the pancreas. (Differentiation of Embryonic Stem Cells to Insulin-Secreting Structures Similar to Pancreatic Islets, 2004). This outcome is fascinating achievement as what is has enabled to do is, begin to partially cure d.m.t.o. even if it is in the case of mice. Although the levels of insulin produced were not the same as that of healthy islet cells, it is significant progress and with some alterations and tweaking, the future is looking hopeful to cure diabetes type one, albeit in mice. That said, a cure in mice and rats is often not far from that of humans as explained in paragraph three and four on page four.

Research conducted during the last decade has also provided more evidence that human embryonic cells can develop into cells that can and do produce insulin. Dr Melton, Nissim Benvinisty of the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, and Josef Itskovitz-Eldor of the Technion in Haifa, Israel, reported that human embryonic stem cells could be manipulated in culture to express the PDX-1 gene; a gene that controls insulin transcription. In the experiments, researchers cultured human embryonic stem cells and allowed them to spontaneously form embryoid bodies. The embryoid bodies were then treated with various growth factors, including nerve growth factor. PDX-1 is associated with the formation of beta islet cells and thus these results suggest that beta islet cells may be one of the cell types that spontaneously differentiate in the embryoid bodies. Researchers now think that nerve growth factor may be one of the key signals for inducing the differentiation of beta islet cells and can be exploited to direct differentiation in the laboratory. (PNAS 97 (21): 11307-11312), (Effects of eight growth factors on the differentiation of cells derived from human embryonic stem cells, Melton, Douglas A.) Complementing these findings is work done by Jon Odorico of the University of Wisconsin in Madison who in preliminary findings, has shown that human embryonic stem cells can differentiate and express the insulin gene but it still remains in early stages with many hurdles yet to overcome. (The National Institutes of Health resource for stem cell research) Once again, another encouraging report of results, these results are of particular importance as it allows guidance of where to continue next e.g. consider intensive research into nerve growth and then using those results to continue researching into curing d.m.t.o. using embryonic stem cells.

Possibly the most important finding in the last couple of years is that of Novocell who report that they managed to convert human embryonic stem cells into insulin-producing cells. The researchers found that when they injected these human cells into diabetic mice, the treatment alleviated diabetes in the rodents. The new technique used will provide doctors with a bulk supply of clean, uncontaminated insulin-secreting cells for use in diabetes patients. It is a controlled process where the quality of the cell being implanted remains the same every time an implant is done. Unfortunately, much of the science behind this new method remains behind closed doors and is difficult to access but a Dr Curt Freed, director of Neurotransplantation from the University of Colorado School of medicine was quoted saying “This is an extraordinary breakthrough by scientists at Novocell, this discovery holds promise for everyone with insulin-requiring diabetes. While outcomes of clinical trials are unpredictable, these cells are likely to be tested in patients soon. (ABC News Medical Unit, 2008) With little scientific information being released, it is difficult to come to a conclusion yet the basic outline seems to be fantastic news particularly as it was found less than a year ago. With the backing of a neutral head researcher of another organisation, Dr Freed, also meriting Novocell on their discovery alongside ABC News Medical unit, it is a huge advancement in the race to find a cure.

Despite the promising results, a working solution is still quite far away. There are several complications to overcome before this becomes a working and viable solution. As far as embryonic stem cell research is considered, we have come to a stage where what was one of the biggest concerns, the production of tumours, no longer occurs (in most cases) immediately after the transplant of the embryonic differentiated islet cells is completed. The cause of d.m.t.o. is due to the immune system destroying the cells that produce insulin. A major question is “Will the human body detect the new cells as foreign?”, and the answer to that is yes. Therefore that leads to a scenario where immunosuppressive drugs must be taken in order for the immune system to not destroy the new cells. That in turn leads to a very dangerous situation where the respective person is left with a very vulnerable body where they are susceptible to a variety of diseases. This would mean that immunosuppressive drugs (along with immunosuppressant treatments) would probably have to be taken for the rest of their lives – in the same way a sufferer of d.m.t.o. has to take insulin injections regularly for the rest of their lives. Another key factor to consider is for what period of time will the cells remain fully differentiated? If this is not answered, then the potential for cells to become carcinogenic and for tumours to form is always a risk. it is im[ Yet, research has not quite reached that advanced stage but it is important to drive home the idea that despite the encouraging reports, collectively, there will be future complications and difficulties which must be overcome.

Globally the incidence of diabetes is expected to exceed 250 million people by 2025 – resulting in 35 million heart attacks, 13 million strokes, 6 million episodes of renal failure, 8 million instances of blindness or eye surgery, 2 million amputations and 62 million deaths –that is a measure of the scale of the problem. While diabetes belongs at the top of the healthcare agenda, it has yet to be given that position.

According to the American Diabetes Association, there are 21 million diabetics in America; with another 54 million people having pre-diabetes (placing them at high risk for developing Type II diabetes). This equates to 75 million Americans having diabetes, or being at high risk.

Most doctors believe that diabetes is incurable… that’s what they’ve been taught. The best you could hope for – according to what they learned in medical school – is to “control” this disease with medication and insulin.

And they’re right… Diabetes is incurable if you follow most doctors’ advice of merely suppressing your diabetes symptoms with pharmaceutical drugs. While prescriptive medications can help you “artificially control” your blood sugar, they do nothing to get at the root cause of the disease.

As we all know, prescription drugs (hypoglycemics) simply mask symptoms. They do not cure; actually they exacerbate the problem as they weaken your immune system. What is meant to help you out only make matters worse.

Sadly, diabetics taking drugs are 2.5 times more likely to die from heart disease than those treated by diet alone. And again, then there are the side effects of medication. These include liver problems (jaundice), anemia, skin rashes and sometimes, death.

Both oral anti-diabetes drugs and insulin are not health-friendly options. They hasten the onset of aging, and damage your liver, heart and other organs among other complications.

But there is a solution. Diabetes is curable. However, it is not cured by treating symptoms with drugs that only perpetuate the condition. Please understand, prescription drugs are the largest orchestrated fraud in human history.

The solution is to address the root cause of diabetes by stimulating your body to restore your pancreas and naturally produce more insulin, without the complications or side-effects of drugs and medications.

Why don’t we hear about this information from the American Diabetes Association? The truth is, the American Diabetes Association are benefiting hugely from the current trend in diabetes. They are funded by pharmaceutical companies who would lose out if people reversed there diabetic conditions.

The treatment of Diabetes brings in over $10 Million Dollars every single hour of the day to Doctors, Pharmaceutical companies, and testing supply businesses. With that kind of money at stake Big Pharma is going to extreme lengths to silence information about natural cures and alternatives for treating diabetes.

But the truth is that reversing diabetes is not only possible, it is likely if you are willing to put forth the effort and follow some simple, proven steps. Everyday now more and more diabetics are finding that they can literally reverse this disease.

The next decade’s projection is that statistics will grow even bigger because those who are currently afflicted will be passing on the disease to their descendants as genetic deficiency. Diabetic cure if any is urgently needed to stop the increasing growth of these statistics.

The root causes have been previously established as mainly due to the inability of the insulin hormones to help in the absorption of glucose as a body nutrient. The pancreas works doubly hard to give out fresh supply of insulin as an automatic response to the rising blood sugar level.

However, the insulin hormones cannot keep up with the rate by which the pancreas produces and the resiliency by which the cells deflect the glucose substance. Diabetes type 1 takes place and finding a diabetic cure is surely a matter of urgency.

Social and environmental factors are now great contributors especially in the cases of children who have developed insulin-resistant cells due to improper diet and a sedentary lifestyle, leading to obesity.

However, majority of these children acquired their diabetes from at least one parent who was passed down with this affliction coming from several generations. Causes have been established but the diabetic cure remains elusive.

There are records however to prove that diabetes has been cured but not as a result of the $51 million worth of research granted to the American Diabetes Association.

The Proven Natural Diabetes Cure

As early as 1999, a 52-year old family doctor in Lawrence, Kansas, treated type 2 diabetic patients with an approach already popular during the depression era and with proven track record of success. The doctor’s patients didn’t stay sick with diabetes affliction.

The doctor’s first line of cure was by totally eliminating carbohydrates from her patient’s diet. In a general context, the doctor’s diabetic cure bordered on reversing all the symptoms of type 2 diabetes. As one believer described it, it was only a matter of clearing out the refrigerator of all possible sources of glucose.

This may be an exaggeration but the point of the matter is that the pancreas is instigated to produce great amounts of insulin in response to the amounts of glucose present in the body.

This being the case, cells that are insulin resistant will not produce much significance in as much as there isn’t a great amount of glucose to contend with. A little infusion is all that will be needed to raise the blood sugar level to normal.

The good doctor’s treatment has not gained support from the American Diabetes Association despite the $51M research they have conducted since 2005. The treatment is so pure and simple, the diabetes sufferer who can’t seem to find the right diabetic cure, can consider this as a way of managing his diabetes with the help of his physician and/or dietitian.

Hence, if this natural diabetic cure works, you’re as good as cured.

An “insider” revealed today that the “World of Medicine” is scamming people – and even worse: with the help of “law-makers!”

It seems that “money” (as usual) has blinded doctors and medical practitioners to the degree that they are now willingly *suppressing* the truth regarding diabetes – its control, management, and even its cure!

That’s right: “cure!”

And what should shock you even more:

It seems that it’s against the law to say the word “cure” when describing anything that actually cures you.

Yet it’s very much okay to say that something “treats” or helps “offset” the symptoms of some health condition or disease.

But if you say “cure” (and even including when you in fact have a real and bona fide cure for something and can even prove it!) you can get arrested.

Ever wonder why we have a “healthcare” industry and not a “healthcure” industry?

It’s simply because no one’s out to “cure” anyone because there’s little money in doing so.

Instead, keeping you sick and marginally pain-free is all anyone’s really out to do for you these days – as doing so means you being “forced” to buy all the same drugs over and over again, and again, and … (you get the point!)

Of course, if a cure came along it would mean you buy it one time, and then you’re cured – and that’s that (over and done!)

But a number of doctors, philanthropists, and just plain old “good folks” armed with “real answers” and “real solutions” are stepping up and are NOT afraid of “Uncle Big-Bully Brother!”

One courageous fellow by the name of Melford Bibens, CPT, is doing exactly this, as he overcame “naturally” the dreaded disease Diabetes!

Not only that, but Melford has lectured and personally helped individuals beat the disease to the point that proven sufferers have actually gotten re-diagnoses as “no longer having the disease at all!” (Something that’s pretty much always been ruled out as a possibility altogether! – and now which may even be against the law!)

But it’s not certain how long Melford will be allowed to do this because “Uncle Sambo” has actually started using “Gestapo” tactics whereby people and businesses truly offering “cures” have been raided with masked armed police who even go to the point of forcing customers in the stores to get down on the floor at gunpoint!

But don’t be surprised if one day soon you return to find this site completely removed with a US Flag waving in its place (in the name of “freedom” no less!)
